Check Fuel Fill Inlet
If the message appears, do the following:
1.Stop your vehicle as soon as it is safeto do so and switch the engine off.
2.Shift into park (P) or neutral (N).
3.Apply the parking brake.
4.Fully open the fuel filler door.
5.Check the fuel tank filler valve for anydebris that may be restricting itsmovement.
6.Remove any debris from the fuel tankfiller valve.
7.Fully insert a fuel pump nozzle or thefuel filler funnel provided with yourvehicle into the fuel filler pipe. SeeLocating the Fuel Filler Funnel(page 206). This action should dislodgeany debris that may be preventing thefuel tank filler valve from fully closing.

Depending on the variant, the four-wheeldrive mode control is either in theinstrument panel or the center console.
To select a four-wheel drive mode, pressthe four-wheel drive mode control buttonof the desired mode. You can selecttwo-wheel drive high (2H), four-wheeldrive auto (4A) or four-wheel drive high(4H) at a stop or while driving. Once theshift is complete, the information displayshows the selected four-wheel drive mode.While shifts are in progress, the lights onthe four-wheel drive control switch flashesuntil your vehicle achieves the desired shift.
Note:When shifting to and from four-wheeldrive, the information display shows theshifting in progress message indicating thatthe system is in the process of making ashift.
Note:Do not perform this operation if therear wheels are slipping or while applyingthe accelerator pedal.
If the system detects a fault, a warningmessage appears in the informationdisplay. See Four-Wheel Drive –Information Messages (page 224).
Shifting to or from Four-WheelDrive Low (4L) (If Equipped)
To select or exit four-wheel drive low (4L):
1.Bring your vehicle to a speed of 3 mph(5 km/h) or less.
2.Place the transmission in neutral (N)
3.Press the desired four-wheel drivebutton on the four-wheel drive modecontrol switch.
The information display shows a messageindicating a four-wheel drive shift is inprogress. If any of the above shiftconditions are not present, the shift doesnot occur and the information displayshows information guiding the driverthrough the proper shifting procedures. Ifthere is a transfer case tooth blockage, amessage displays in the informationdisplay. To alleviate this condition, placethe transmission in a forward gear, moveyour vehicle forward approximately 5 ft(1.5 m), and shift the transmission back toneutral (N) to allow the transfer case tocomplete the range shift.
Note:You could hear some noise as thesystem shifts or engages which is normal.
If the system detects a fault, a warningmessage appears in the informationdisplay. See Four-Wheel Drive –Information Messages (page 224).

Note:If your vehicle has anti-lock brakes,apply the brakes steadily. Do not pump thebrakes.
DRIVING ON SNOW AND ICE
Four-wheel drive vehicles have advantagesover two-wheel drive vehicles in snow andice but can skid like any other vehicle.Should you start to slide while driving onsnowy or icy roads, turn the steering wheelin the direction of the slide until you regaincontrol.
Avoid sudden applications of power andquick changes of direction on snow andice. Apply the accelerator slowly andsteadily when starting from a full stop.Avoid sudden braking. Although afour-wheel drive vehicle can acceleratebetter than a two-wheel drive vehicle insnow and ice, it cannot stop any faster asbraking occurs at all four wheels. Do notbecome overconfident as to roadconditions.
Make sure you allow sufficient distancebetween you and other vehicles forstopping. Drive slower than usual andconsider using one of the lower gears. Inemergency stopping situations, apply thebrake steadily. Do not pump the brakepedal. See Anti-Lock Braking SystemLimitations (page 229).
Note:Excessive tire slippage can causetransmission damage.

WHAT IS THE ELECTRONIC
LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL
The electronic limited-slip differentialsystem directs torque across the axle,enabling the vehicle to drive over terrainand road conditions that a conventionalaxle cannot. The system is active at alltimes and requires no input from the driver.
Note:If your vehicle is not at optimaloperating conditions or a system fault ispresent, a warning may display in theinstrument cluster. Depending on thewarning, you may need to service yourvehicle.
Operating the Electronic Limited-SlipDifferential with a Spare orMismatched Tires
If your vehicle has an electronic limited-slipdifferential, do not use a spare tire of adifferent size than the tire provided. If youhave a spare tire installed, a message mayappear indicating the system has disabledautomatically or reduced function toprevent system overheat and damage. Werecommend you reinstall the repaired orreplaced spare tire as soon as possible.When you replace the spare tire, thesystem resumes normal operation on thenext key cycle.
Trailer Towing
The electronic limited-slip differentialenhances vehicle stability during trailer towoperation. During high demand traileringevents, such as steep slopes, high speedsor with a spare tire, the system may providea warning in the instrument cluster andreduce function or enter a temporarilydisabled state. To resume normal function,stop the vehicle in a safe location andallow the unit to adequately cool. Oncethe system reaches normal operatingtemperatures, system function restoresand the electronic limited-slip differentialrestored message displays.
